The killing of NJ Councilwoman Eunice Dwumfour is reverberating from New Jersey to West Africa, with touchpoints including politics, religion and money that echo across continents.
SAYREVILLE, N.J. — Nicole Teliano used to play games on her phone in the Mayor’s Office at Sayreville Borough Hall while her mother tended to the tedious, often acrimonious task of serving in local government.
Dwumfour’s parents and new husband Peter Ezechukwu — who hoped to join his wife in the U.S. this spring but instead came for her funeral — are frustrated by the ongoing silence from officials. “Eunice was too good of a person to let go unanswered,” Mayor Victoria Kilpatrick said at a Feb. 8 memorial service, where hundreds mourned the stylish preacher known as “Pastor Eunney_K.”
Champions Royal Assembly founder Joshua Iginla — who married Dwumfour and Ezechukwu in November — oversees an 80,000-seat church in Abuja, travels by private jet and sometimes gives away cars and cash to widows and others on his birthday, according to his social media posts. He also has a growing base in Johannesburg and a home in New Jersey.
